As I told you here, we don’t own any furniture or appliances. Thus, because we are moving to an empty rental for the first time in our adult lives, we need to buy some stuff.
So… what should we buy first for our empty new rental? What things do we absolutely need and what others can wait? Do we really need a couch in the first week of moving in? Maybe not… Do we really need a mattress and bed linen? Yeah… probably we do.
The best way to avoid being overwhelmed with this new adventure is being prepared, so I decided to make a list of things that we need and a list of things that will come with time. For that I even made a PRIORITIES SHOPPING LIST! Keep reading…

Oh man… I’m struggling here! I don’t even know where to begin. I want to tell you about my life in the past two years, what is really happening right now, I want to share our plans for the coming months, our next moves… I want to make a life update but I truly don’t know how I should write this. I can’t even figure out a title for this post! Keep reading…

Over the years I’ve been getting better and better at moving, organizing the move and packing all our stuff. I am a bit of a control freak so when it comes to organizing, putting things in place, packing our bags and arranging everything to move, I am the person behind it all.

This is not my first blog, in fact this is my fourth! I first started blogging in 2009, when I first moved abroad, with the sole purpose of documenting my life to my family and friends. Then I needed a place to show all my artistic creations, so I created another blog.

I’m looking for…

Hello there! It's great to have you here! I'm Lena and I've moved so many times that I think I'm a nomad. I'm addicted to traveling and want to move all the time. I suffer from wanderlust, they say. Besides that, I'm also passionate about arts & crafts, design and home decor. So take a seat and enjoy while a rented house becomes our home. You can read a little more about me HERE. I'm an open book. Ask me anything!
